The Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic has been fined $25,000 for using the phrase “no homo” while discussing Wendell Carter, Jr.’s length, as NBA writer Sean Highkin reports. “He’s lon—huh, no homo, he’s longer than you expect,” said the Serbian center after last Wednesday’s game, which you can see here:

data-mm-id=”_jw9wkxfb1″>Philip Rivers and the Los Angeles Chargers appear headed for a breakup, as the soon-to-be free agent and the only team he's ever known haven't even discussed a new contract. With Rivers in the midst of a tough season and the franchise in the midst of a transition he hasn't embraced, it looks like this marriage is falling apart. Jason La Canfora wrote about Rivers and the Chargers earlier this week. And while there are certainly football reasons for both sides to look elsewhere, there's more to this. The Chargers seem irked that Rivers has never fully embraced the franchise's move to Los Angeles. “Furthermore, Rivers’s lack of interest in promoting the move to Los Angeles — he spends upwards of four hours a day in his car commuting back …

data-mm-id=”_3g27gsb39″>About a month into the NBA season, the league and its broadcast partners are not bragging. The ratings for the season are off to rough start compared to last season's down year. As pointed out by Sports Media Watch, ratings for eight of the 10 TNT games have declined this season and, including ESPN's airings, nine games have already failed to reach one million viewers. That is compared to 19 all of last season. Another season with declining ratings has been my prediction ever since the discussion for this season began. The most protected and praised league by the sports media suffers from a plethora of problems that aren't going away. Most years there are only a select few teams that matter and have any national interest. This season, there are l…

A new report Sunday night claims the Cleveland Cavaliers are unlikely to keep Beilein beyond this season, and momentum is building towards his departure. Shams Charania, Kelsey Russo and Jason Lloyd of The Athletic had the report and here's what they had to say:”Cavaliers coach John Beilein is not expected to remain as head coach beyond the end of the season, league and team sources have told The Athletic.

data-mm-id=”_091iwfttt”>Dana White made a huge announcement Friday, as he revealed full cards for three events the UFC will hold in an eight day span later this month. All three shows would be held in Jacksonville, Florida as the state begins to ease lockdown restrictions. Starting with UFC 249 on May 9, the organization will host three events in just more than a week.

data-mm-id=”_8v1jbq05j”>Colin Kaepernick is a name that has been coming up in conversation often in the wake of the killing of George Floyd. As peaceful protests turn to riots and looting, many of the same people who wouldn't stand for Kaepernick kneeling wonder why people can't protest peacefully. The NFL released a statement on Saturday which was very supportive of those involved and affected, but seemed kind of ridiculous because of how Kaepernick was treated by the league when he tried to address systemic issues using his platform.pic.twitter.com/rRUOPpWSpE— NFL (@NFL) May 30, 2020Also on Saturday, Joe Lockhart, the former NFL executive vice president in charge of communications and government affairs, wrote a column for CNN where he shed some light on the Kaepernick si…

data-mm-id=”_2ygac5oax”>Jerry Jones is a hypocrite. The Dallas Cowboys owner is again trying to stifle players' right to peacefully protest by suggesting a "compromise" like he did by kneeling before the National Anthem in 2017. Kneeling protests have come back strong over the last few months and while Colin Kaepernick remains unemployed in the NFL, his original message will be louder than ever when the league starts its season next month.In a recent interview with Emmanuel Acho, Roger Goodell said that he would support players who kneel and again pointed out that it has nothing to do with disrespecting the flag or the country.Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man: The National Anthem Protest- PT.
